Default Thanks for the Response! Ignitor Kit

Thanks for the response on the Pertronix Electronic Ignition Module. Just did the install of the Pertronix module today. The install was fairly easy, took about an hour with timming the motor. I already had a Mallory coil so I did'nt need to get the Flamethrower coil. The vette runs extremly well, better than with the points and condenser set-up. I will have to modify the coil bracket and passenger side ingnition cover brackets though. The Pertronix changed the timming a bit and when setting the timming by turning the distributor the vacum advance gets in the way of the bracket for the ignition cover on the passenger side and the distributor hold down bolt gets in the way of the coil on the drivers side. Has anyone else ran into this problem?
